A fascinating and in-depth history of The Times that really does capture the spirit of the Gray Lady. Talese is a wonderful writer although his love for detail can take a chapter that could have been five pages and make it 20 instead. Nonetheless, this book captures what was truly the golden age of print newspapers.
